The seed of the magnificent Concorde was first sown in 1954, but it took a strategic UK-France partnership signed in 1962, to ultimately breathe life into this remarkable endeavor. After seven years of relentless efforts and a costly budget of up-to £2.1 billion by 1976, this mighty bird of the skies finally took off from Toulouse on March 2, 1969. Entering commercial service in 1976, it predominantly flew transatlantic routes and had the capacity to whisk 92 to 128 passengers at speeds reaching over 2100 km/h; twice the speed of sound.

Though only twenty were ever made, the Concorde left an indelible mark on aviation history before being retired in 2003 after 27 years of operations. Today, their grandeur can be admired in various displays across Europe and America.

When to visit Concord

To relish the best that Concorde sites have to offer, consider visiting between May to October, the most favourable weather window. The peak summer months of June, July, and August promise warm temperatures, ideal for outdoor exploration. If you're keen on avoiding the crowds, plan for the shoulder months, either side of the peak season.

Keep an eye on the weather patterns, particularly precipitation, to ensure your trip isn’t hampered. Whenever you decide to go, every visit to a Concorde display offers a chance to relive an extraordinary period of aviation history. So prepare yourself for a fascinating journey into the past, filled with tales of speed, innovation and international collaboration.
